Have your ever left a relationship to avoid pain?
With this song I wanted to perpetuate that sensation and revisit the idea of “lose to win”.

The album “Lado B Side” digs in unpopular topics: being Vulnerable, feeling alive being hurted (Duro) , ignoring instead of hating (Amnesia)… and this time I wanted to talk about the “flight response”, exalting the cowardly antihero who choose the easy escape -or maybe the only one- in an esthetic way.

It wanted it to sound monstrous: heavy, slow and cold, with a descending chords progesión and ostentatious in austerity: For 3 minutes the melody’s voice and 4 chords of piano are ALL (I definitely think that simplicity -few melodic lines, much repetition and silences- is pure luxury).

Once solved the contrast typical of most any piano/voice song, I wanted the instrumental conclusion to eat all of the above: sounding dramatic, giant and to exacerbate each possible harmonies. I love when harmony is so rich that seems to be noise as in “Insomnia” but I wanted something more orchestral, so it added a rallentando at the end to feel it like the fall of a titan.

Another creative point was the structure: It’s a story that begins singing the final (verse, chorus, bridge, chorus, verse). After finish the track, I would have liked to repeat the first chorus instead of adding a second to extend the mirror sensation.

I postponed its launching day in August because it didn’t reflect the season I was going through. When I uploaded it, it reflected exactly what I was living and because of that it was another 3 months without diffusion. And that’s how it comes: tired, mistreated and old.
